Geography
1 answer:
Stells [14]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The method that scientists use to discern this information is similar to medical CT scans that bounce X-rays through the human body to make three-dimensional pictures of internal tissue. In an analogous manner, a method called seismic tomography uses hundreds to thousands of earthquakes recorded by dozens of stations to measure the speed of seismic waves through the Earth--data that allow geophysicists to make three-dimensional pictures of structures beneath the surface. Scientists compare these seismic velocities and infer the composition by comparing them with average, thermally undisturbed values.

Explain why pollution prevention is undertaken as the first strategy in minimizing environmental risk.
Len [333]

Answer:

Environmental risk can be managed by a number of strategies. The first employed is to prevent pollution at its source because this strategy eliminates the need to dispose of waste, restore habitats, or remediate contamination. In situations where pollution prevention is not possible or practical, then other strategies become important. Minimizing the amount of waste generated and properly disposing of the waste that is generated is one strategy, as is avoiding habitat damage.

Alex swims at an average speed of 45 mi./min. how far does he swim in one minute 24 seconds
kompoz [17]

Answer: Alex Swims 63 mi in one minute 24 seconds

Explanation:

Alex swims 45 miles in 1 minute so what we need to find is the 24 seconds.

You'd take 2 divided by 5 which is the simplified fraction of 24 seconds over 60 seconds

Simplifying the fraction to a decimal gives you 0.4 then multiply it by 45 giving 18.

45+18=63 mi
